libgcrypt keeps a long-lived maintenance branch per minor version,
LIBGCRYPT-1.12-BRANCH matching the current PV with equivalents back to
1.2, and releases from several in parallel: in one week of April 2026 it
released into four of them, 1.12.2 and 1.8.13 on the 15th, 1.11.3 and
1.10.4 on the 21st. So upgrades within a major.minor are stable point
upgrades per the OE-Core stable release policy (ref-manual, "Stable Point
Release Upgrades").

NEWS separates "Bug fixes" from "New and extended interfaces", and neither
point release in the current series has the latter section at all: 1.12.2
(Apr 15 2026) is four fixes, including an ECDH buffer overwrite and a
missing Dilithium bounds check, and 1.12.1 (Feb 20 2026) four build or
arithmetic regressions. 1.12.0 (Jan 29 2026) opens the series and does add
features, confirming X.Y.0 bumps must stay outside the regex.

The libtool version-info in each NEWS heading is upstream's own ABI
record, and across the current series only the revision moves. One
deviation is worth disclosing from the previous series: 1.11.2 adds a
single enum constant, GCRY_KEM_RAW_P256R1, with current and age
incremented together so it stays backward compatible. Point releases here
are fixes-focused rather than absolutely fixes-only, with the deviation
bounded to additive constants.

Already tracked this way on the OE stable branches, counting only bumps
since each branch forked: scarthgap took 1.10.3 -> 1.10.4, which needed a
build fix backported alongside it because 1.10.4 broke building with -O2
in the sysroot path. kirkstone has taken no in-series bump and stays at
1.9.4.
